Psalms 94:14-23

¹⁴For the Lord will not cast off his people, and his inheritance will he not forsake.

¹⁵For unto righteousness will justice return; and it shall be followed by all the upright in heart.

¹⁶Who will rise up for me against evil-doers? or who will stand forward for me against the workers of wickedness?

¹⁷Unless the Lord had been a help unto me, but a little would have been wanting that my soul had dwelt in the silence of death.

¹⁸When I said, My foot hath slipped: thy kindness, O Lord, sustained me.

¹⁹In the multitude of my painful thoughts within me, thy consolations delight my soul.

²⁰Can there be associated with thee the throne of destructive wickedness, which frameth mischief as a law?

²¹They band themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and innocent blood do they condemn.

²²But the Lord is become my defence, and my God, the rock of my refuge.

²³And he will bring back upon them their own injustice, and in their own wickedness will he destroy them: yea, he will destroy them—the Lord our God.
